History:
The USCGC Cypress (WLB-210) was commissioned in 2001 as part of the Juniper-class buoy tenders. This vessel operates out of New Orleans, Louisiana, providing critical buoy maintenance and other Coast Guard functions across the Gulf Coast.
With its advanced capabilities, including a Dynamic Positioning System, the Cypress can maintain precise positions while servicing buoys, responding to oil spills, and aiding in search-and-rescue operations. Its ice-strengthened hull allows it to perform in a variety of conditions, from the warm waters of the Gulf Coast to colder climates.
The Cypress has been involved in various missions, including oil spill response, hurricane recovery efforts, and environmental protection. Its service has been essential to ensuring safe and reliable shipping lanes throughout the Gulf region, reflecting the versatility and commitment of the Coast Guard.
